Do you think a 20 year guy is too young for a 29 year old female?

What are your thoughts?

1-50 of 59

twistedrope · 26-30, M

Nah. It works the other way too. A 20 year old woman can date a 29 year old man. Will it last? God knows but the thing to destroy relationships in my experience is not age, it's ignorance.

SlaveEt · 36-40, F

I personally doubt I'd be attracted to a 20 year old guy but if it works for them, more power to them. Do those that make you happy.

Sexually? PERFECT! Mentally? Good Luck!

@Guardian LOL

cecile · F

i don't think so i have known quite a few bigger age gaps with excellent relationships it will depend on the couple

Stephie · 22-25, F

Guys are on the average 2-3 years less mature than women of the same age. An actual age difference of 9 years as in your example would make it about 6 years in terms of maturity. Therefore, an age difference of 6 years is probably ok.

@Stephie not sure I would agree that this particular age gap is NOT significant!

Stephie · 22-25, F

@quietwhispers101 You can talk to me anytime when I am online. Sorry I missed you.

Stephie · 22-25, F

@Guardian You can have a fully functional couple with an age gap of 9 years. The problem may arise pretty soon though should they decide to have children. If they wait another 5-6 years, the woman will already be in her mid-thirties and it is stretching her biological clock a little too much. I would not feel comfortable with that constellation.

Nah. Y'all just can't drink wine together.

It’s better than 16 and 25 and a bit better than 18 and 27 but not as good as 30 and 39.

@Gingerbreadspice I like that age group.

Old51 · 70-79, M

@WaafaS then it was good for you. Why think about other people's view

Old51 · 70-79, M

@Gingerbreadspice sure you miss

Lilymoon · F

short term no. Long term yep.

WaafaS · 26-30, F

@Lilymoon Why?

Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP

It depends on what they are seeking from the said 'relationship '

The 20 yr old is certainly above the age of consent so can be assured its fair game . What I dont like is older women that seek relationships with young boys below 18 ..

Adogslife · 61-69, M

I do. Men mature more slowly than women, so the maturity gap is actually larger than the numeric.

If it’s just a FWB situation, then the nine year gap doesn’t matter.

TartanTorpedo · M

Surely if both parties are happy then live and let live 👍

MarineBob · 56-60, M

Is 60 too old for a 29 yo

NativePortlander1970

@MarineBob Yes

BEENOV · M

@MarineBob No,

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

No. Commonalities and personalities are the keys to a relationship. Age only plays a small part and in those two areas.

Believe it or not my half brother married a woman 20 years younger than himself, had two kids and is still married after the kids graduated from college.

Nicenlongnthick · 41-45, M

I was 18 and with a 39 uear old female

ratpaws · 18-21, F

i have seen similar couples several times so i dont see an issue anymore unless you were just dating a recent 18 y/o in which you have been talking since he was younger which it would raise me concerns

WaafaS · 26-30, F

@ratpaws My ex was 18.

The general rule is half your age plus seven, leaving the youngest age at 21.5. However, I personally think it's perfectly acceptable, as I've made a few platonic friends well into their 30s without feeling any age gap.

WaafaS · 26-30, F

@SW-User My ex was 18.

DownTheStreet · 56-60, M

Depends on what you are looking for, and the life experience / maturity of the guy. But i would not bet on an enduring relationship with anyone who hasn’t developed a good sense of self and has lived enough life to know things.

Patriot96 · 56-60, C

I was 16. She was 30ish. We knew we were in it for the sex, nothing more

@Nicenlongnthick Do women your own age look attractive to you?

Nicenlongnthick · 41-45, M

@Really ive been with older women still

Nicenlongnthick · 41-45, M

@Really absolutely

Bartleby · 51-55, M

It depends. Usually a 29-year-old and a 20-year-old are in such different life stages. In most cases it probably wouldn’t work long-term but in a few cases it might.

SaltnLime · 70-79, M

Yes. There is a huge difference in maturity and experience between 20 and 29. Definite red flags for this relationship.

Really · 80-89, M

@SaltnLime

There is a huge difference in maturity and experience between 20 and 29.

Sometimes one way, sometimes the other.

BohemianBabe · M

As long as they're both legal, age doesn't really matter. What matters more it stuff like where each person is in their lives.

WillaKissing · 56-60

Nope, you both can still have a family together if all works out. Just watch the maturity level of that 20 year old.

ErecSchunn · 46-50, M

Lmao I’m poly and one girl I date is 22 🤷‍♂️ neither of us think about it because of our connection.

Mmiker · 46-50, M

Depends on one’s maturity.

@WaafaS did you appreciate him while being together?
One can act more mature than their age?

WaafaS · 26-30, F

@Mmiker We hit it off well.

Mmiker · 46-50, M

@WaafaS There you go. Then age wouldn’t matter.

oldercanuk1 · 70-79, M

Not at all ,, if you like each other and get along enjoy ,,life to short not to enjoy what makes you happy

sstronaut

Yes, because I'm no longer 20... the 29 year female should hook up with me instead 🤪

AngelKrish · 26-30, M

No, nick jonas married to Priyanka chopra with age difference of 10 years

SW-User

With the right maturity and good conversation, the age difference shouldn't matter

Yes because a person at age 20 and a person at age 29 have different brain developments.

Northwest · M

Too young for what?

@WaafaS And what do you hope to get out of dating him?

WaafaS · 26-30, F

@Northwest A relationship.

Northwest · M

@WaafaS When I was 20, I dated women in their 40s, but we did not exactly have relationships. So it depends on the kind of relationship you're looking for.
